A custom hand-painted pet portrait ornament is a timeless way to celebrate the love and bond you share with your pet. Each ornament is personally painted by me in my Philadelphia studio from your submitted photograph—never printed or AI-generated. Every portrait is carefully painted by hand to capture your pet's unique personality, expression, and spirit, creating a keepsake you'll look forward to displaying year after year.
Whether you're celebrating your best friend, remembering a beloved companion, or searching for a meaningful gift for the animal lover in your life, each ornament is created to become a treasured keepsake for years to come.
I create realistic hand-painted portraits of dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, reptiles, homes, vehicles, and more. If you have a special subject in mind, I'd be honored to paint it.
I'm Alexis Grant, a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), and I've specialized in creating custom pet portraits since 2011. Every ornament is individually hand-painted in my Philadelphia studio and receives my full attention from start to finish.
Before your ornament is sealed, I'll email photographs of the completed portrait for your approval. Minor adjustments are always welcome before I apply the final protective finish. Every ornament is thoughtfully hand-painted, carefully packaged, and created with the same care and attention I would give one for my own home.
Each ornament can be personalized at no additional charge.
I can hand-letter your pet's name, the year, or a short message to make your ornament even more meaningful.
By default, I also paint delicate green sprigs with red berry accents on the reverse side of each ornament. If you prefer a plain back or another simple design, just let me know when placing your order.
Place your order, and you'll receive a confirmation form where you can upload your photographs.
If you'd like to discuss your reference photos before ordering, you're always welcome to email me at lexannegrant@gmail.com. I'm happy to help you choose the best image for your portrait.
Once I receive your order, I'll personally review your photos and reach out shortly to confirm that I have everything I need before I begin painting.
I generally prefer to work from one clear reference photo to achieve the most accurate likeness of your pet. Additional photos are always welcome for color or detail reference, but combining multiple photographs into one portrait can sometimes reduce likeness due to differences in lighting, camera angles, and perspective.
Take your photo outdoors in natural daylight.
Avoid harsh direct sunlight and heavy shadows.
Photograph your pet at eye level whenever possible.
Choose a photo where your pet's eyes are sharp and in focus.
These details help me capture your pet's true colors, expression, and personality.
Each ornament is hand-painted on a durable white ceramic bauble measuring approximately 2–2.5 inches in diameter.
Every ornament features:
Thick, durable ceramic construction
Rustic gold ornament cap
Gold hanging cord
Protective hand-applied finish
Hand-painted portrait on the front
Optional hand-lettered personalization
Decorative green sprigs and red berry accents on the reverse side (unless otherwise requested)
Each ornament is carefully gift boxed in a white 3" × 3" × 3" gift box, tied with ribbon and ready for gifting.
These ornaments aren't just for Christmas—they also make thoughtful gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, new pet celebrations, and memorials, becoming keepsakes that can be enjoyed all year long.
Processing times vary throughout the year, particularly during the holiday season.
Each ornament is carefully packaged to arrive safely. While I always ship promptly, delivery dates cannot be guaranteed due to occasional postal delays beyond my control.
To keep your ornament looking beautiful for years to come, store it in a dry location when not displayed and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
All commissioned artwork is intended for the purchaser's personal use only. I, Alexis Anne Grant, retain copyright and reproduction rights to my original artwork unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Purchasing a commission does not transfer these rights.
By submitting reference photographs, you confirm that you own the photographs or have obtained the necessary permission from the copyright holder for their use in creating commissioned artwork.
I may occasionally share photographs or videos of completed portraits, works in progress, and my creative process on my website, Etsy shop, social media (@alexisannegrant), or in promotional features and collaborations.
If your portrait is intended as a surprise gift or you would prefer your commissioned artwork to remain private, please notify me when placing your order. I am always happy to respect your wishes!
Thank you for considering me to create this special memorial. I know how deeply our pets touch our lives, and it is truly an honor to preserve their memory through a hand-painted portrait that celebrates the love you shared. © 2011 AlexisAnneGrantArt
